MS65+ a 66 on a good day.

66 fbf-fhl
Clean cheek, nice luster, good color ... a little ticky on the reverse, but yeah, put me down for 66 too
Nice one Eldo'

66 and pretty toning.
@MsMorrisine you gotta tell me what is fbf-fhl ???
My WAG
fbf = full breast feathers (rev)
fhl = full hair line (obv)

When I saw your post I immediately assumed I'd have to choose between 67+ and 68😅 Kidding aside, beautiful coin. I think it gets a color bump to 66+.
Looks like we have a new nominee for the Unofficial King of CU thread!🙄 Or maybe we should start a court jester thread?

ko-rect!
My guess is 65+, gorgeous coin!
Dang! Yes, I can imagine you kind of like this one! Of all the folks who have been around here forever I am likely the one who grades them the least (and therefore the worst!). I'll go with MS67.

MS-65+
But I could also see MS-66+
Very attractive coin. 66. Anyone could see why you liked it.

66 was my first thought... the reverse chatter possibly keeps it to 65.

66+ or 67.
It's a PCGS MS-66+ CAC coin. Bought from Larry Shapiro back in 2021. I don't have many Morgan's but this one caught my eye.
I actually grade it a 66 myself.
Credit to @logger7 @LeeBone @dcarr @lermish for putting 66+ in their answer.
I didn't get a chance to give my opinion but I was going to go with MS66+ until I saw the reveal. I think it got a bump for the beautiful color.

Very nice coin!
Beautiful example I missed this one too, I would have said 66, I am wondering if this one beaned?
I don't get a plaudit for my 66+?

Sorry Lermish! You did indeed guess correctly! I've added you to the hall of Fame!
I probably would have guessed MS67. And though I didn’t think it should grade higher than that, I considered the possibility that it was.

I made the Hall of Fame!! Ooooooo Yeaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
I would have said 65. My initial reaction was 63, but I am definitely one of the worst graders around.

I was in Marks camp, then said 66+ of course easy to do after it posted, but I graded it before I read the grade.
Super nice for a 66+
